Go here to read an extremely detailed and illuminating analysis of the current state of Nigeria's illiberal democracy by Freedom House. Comments, questions and analysis welcomed below. Quarter's almost over! Boost that participation grade!
Even though Nigeria is doing somewhat better than before, security and corruption issues are still abundant. I thought it was interesting that so many people were killed after elections. I think that the country will not be able to get out of all the corruption and poverty for awhile because it is so difficult to break the cycle. Also something else to mention is the division between the Muslims and the Christians which creates the two different types of people which will continue the internal conflicts.
